PID’s –
The PID controllers are pre-set for optimum heating rates and minimum overshoot. The corresponding large green lamp below
the PID will indicate when the control is powering the heating elements. As the temperature approaches the set point the controller will
automatically begin to cycle the heating elements on and off for a short period approximately every 30 seconds to maintain the set tem-
perature. Typical stability is about +/- 1F. Note that the MASH PID is displaying temperature only and does not energize heating elements.
To change the set point press the UP/DOWN arrows until you reach your desired setting.
Heater Control Selector Switch –
there are three positions for the power selector switch.
Energizes the corresponding heating elements at all times and is used as manual override. It bypass-
es the PID and the low water level float switch. It is used as an emergency override should a compo-
nent fail during a brew day.
De-energizes the heating elements in all cases and prevents heater from energizing. Select this posi-
tion as you begin to frain a tank or wish to prevent unitended powering of the heaters.
Allows the PID to automatically turn on the heaters to maintain the desired set temperature and
allows the low level switches protect the heating elements from firing while dry.

Heater Power Selector Switches –
the heater selector switches are used to select the total power input to your kettle. Each switch controls
3 heating elements. You may select, for example, element 1 only (1/3 power), element 1-2 (2/3 power), or 1-2-3 (full power). This is particu-
larly helpful during the boil to control the boil intensity.
Timer –
a start delay timer is provided to allow you to start heating brewing liquor in advance of your brew day so that you have hot liquor
available at the exact desired temperature upon arrival for brewing. The factory setting is 0-999 minutes of delay. To select a delay push the
‘SET’ button on the timer to turn the timer on. Use the up and down arrows to set the minutes of delay. Press ‘SET’ again to lock in the selected
time. To turn the timer off press the set button until the timer displays off.
Note:
Boil Kettle and/or Hot Liquor Tank must be turned to the ‘Auto’ position to turn on at the end of the timer delay.
